Expert: Matt Date: 1/3/2008 Subject: Asking her out
Question OOpps, im really sorry, but i didnt realize that i could choose who i wanted to answer this question and i asked someone else...sorry about the inconvenience. Anyway, ill go on with my question. Im a 16 year old guy, and i guess im really shy. Girls have called me cute and everything, but as i see it ive only ever been "puppy dog" cute (cuz ive known girls to think my friends HOT, and me just cute), and that doesnt do wonders for my self esteem. Well, quite frankly, life sucks right now, i moved to a new school (THAT HAPPENS TO BE AN ALL GUYS SCHOOL!!), and i havnt dated since 6th grade. But on an airplane ride home last summer i met this girl and we really hit it off. I really really like this girl, and we talk every now and again, trouble being that she lives bout an hour away. I havnt seen her in person since we first met. I think she might like me a little, and i cant help but feel like she wants me to do something about it, but the truth is that she is really intimidating because she has a crap load of friends (mostly guys), and im the kind of person who has a select few friends, and its not like i can hang out with her all the time...even though i would really really like too. Can u give me any advice on the situation, i just feel like crap because of it. Sorry for the long question....and thanks a lot dude.
Answer Hey Bon..
I'm sorry to hear about this situation you're in, but you wanna know something that may count as a suprise? I'm almost having this exact-same problem, except this girl I'm referring to, IS my girlfriend and we live 7 hours-apart.. I met her on the Internet before, and just met her In-Person less than a week ago.. The time we had together was Near-Perfect, but nothing IS really perfect..
Anyways.. I get bored, jealous, angry, and sad too.. While I have to wait a couple months to see her from now on, she has tons of friends she hangs out with them at school and usually outside of school too *a ton of Male-Friends as well*..
I've always been more of a Loner, and like you, have a few Select-Friends too. She gets by just great I feel, yet I don't.. I'm always inside, doing the same-thing EVERY-DAY, while she's with her friends having fun.. It's depressing and makes me hate life sometimes, I know.
You're in the same situation, and feel like this sometimes, am I correct?
I don't really have much to help you with, considering I'm at this problem in life too.. I just do my best to get by. Listen to music, play games, spend time with my Cats, Occupy myself with the computer, and hang out with friends that I like to. I'm sorry, but I really can't help you a lot here, as much as I would like to..
If you like, you can keep contact with me on here for some extra-company, and I'll try to be of more assistance to you..
Try to work something out so you can go visit her when you're able.. A weekend, a School-Vacation, etc..
To make matters worse for me; I'm going to be starting a new school, and re-meeting people that I knew 7 years ago, but wasn't really popular with then.. I can only imagine what it will be like now that it's been 7-8 years..
Best of luck, and I hope it works out with you.. --Matty--
